Has anyone washed a packit in the washing machine?

I honestly don't know if you can wash it. The inside is that vinyl material so when my son brings it home from lunch and it's sticky or wet or full of crumbs, I just rinse it out under the tap and wipe it dry with some paper towel. I love these things!

Yes, I have. I pop it in with a load of towels and let it air dry. This takes care of any outside staining - they clean up beautifully!!

It is not necessary to wash in a machine. I just washed it by hand in my sink with dishsoap and a scrubbie sponge.

I washed it by hand because it has a very strong smell. But the smell did not go away.

If you spill something in it, then hand wash it with mild detergent, then use a sani-wipe and dry it. Then let it air dry before refreezing it. We get new ones at the beginning of each school season, or if one of the grandkids get really carried away and destroy it. I don't think they would last very long in a washing machine of any type.

No, not yet. When I do, it will be in the washing machine with cold water. Then, I will air dry it. That is my plan. It works for most unusual things.

Yes, it will go through the washer just fine(gentle cycle). BUT i found if I just pop my kids lunch into a gallon freezer bag then put the whole thing into the lunch box, there is hardly a need to wash it.

I haven't tried the washing machine, but I've hand washed it in the sink with dishsoap, and let it air dry over the weekend, and it washes up fairly well. Sometimes I just use some cleaner on a towel and wipe it out as well, and that works pretty nicely too. If you do wash it in the machine, let me know how it comes out- I think it'd be fine, as long as the cycle is gentle and you don't heat dry it....

I have not washed mine, I will say it is a lot of bedspread I feel for a regular washer. It would fit in a front loader. Hope this helped.

I would not put it in a washing machine. I have spot cleaned it with a damp cloth. I just love it and use it all the time!!

I have not washed mine but I would feel comfortable hand washing it or put it in a laundry bag and wash on delicate cycle. Should be fine. Good luck.

I've run mine through the washer numerous times but I let it air dry as I don't want it to shrink in the dryer.

I have. But just as important as the detergent is of course how the garment is handeled... they came out beautifully submerged in ice cold water, rinsed, reshaped and rolled in towles to remove excess water, draped over a rack to complete the drying. I have a front loaded which has a very safe, gentle hand wash mode; I have done them both ways with great success using this product.

I've washed mine quite a few times stuck in with normal loads of laundry. They have came out clean and so far no signs of wear and tear.

I haven't tried, but it's a good quality canvas that has held up to many washings. My bags arrived unwashed, washing first would be best.

well I haven't washed it yet; but plan to put in top loading washer. I put a pillow case on it so it wouldn't get dirty.

I haven't washed mine. I don't think I would chance putting it in the washing machine. You could probably hand wash it with no problem.

I have not washed the mit. They put new one in every box. When I am done I put it over bottle and let it dry before next use.

I have washed my bag in the washer before and it did fine, but I did not put it in the dryer. I let it hang dry.

I have not had to clean it yet, normally i just shake it off well before stuff sacking it. However, I don't think i personally would trust putting this in the washing machine, and definitely not the dryer. I'd worry about something twisting up or catching on something. I would probably recommend hand washing and then hanging it to dry if you feel the need to fully wash it. Hope This is helpful.

I have yet to wash it, though I have shaken it out a few times. I store it in the bag it came in.
